How to Use
Wrap waist trimmer around your belly during your fasted morning fat burning walks.
How does this work?
I’m been a long proponent of smart strategic cardio for fat burning. The idea is that you want to wear…

There are lots of opinions in the lifting world when it comes to lifting accessories that are designed to aid in heavy lifting. Opinions tend to fall into two categories.
First category
“I lift raw. I don’t use any lifting accessories to assist me because I want to be completely strong all by myself even when I’m naked.”
Second category
“I lift with as many accessories as I can because…

Nowadays you can buy supplements for almost anything. That said, part of the reasons why I hate reviewing supplements (even though it makes me money) is because the majority of them aren’t worth a dime.
Most supplements nowadays are a mixture of known things that work and odd substances that have little or no proof of efficacy. Every “new” supplement is a remix of “known good substances” and obscure amounts…

Additional golden thoughts of the famous Polish coach:
I asked Dolega if I should call him “Niedolega” (butterfingers, hard to translate play on words of Dolega’s last name). Was it offensive? It was supposed to motivate him. So he proves to me that I was wrong. I really wanted to push him, because he had six opportunities for world and continent championships medal, and he blew them. What was I…

Zygmunt Smalcerz, Olympic Weightlifting Gold Medalist, and US National Coach honestly about USA Weightlifting conditions and results:
Kendrick Farris was behind Adrian Zielinski by 30kg/66lbs in the Olympics. Americans are third world weightlifting country. They can train in Colorado Springs where they get free room and board, but really no spending money. In their free time, they do odd jobs such as babysitting or working in a restaurant, and…

There are legends about mental durability of Polish weightlifters. It is not that they are genetically tougher, sometimes the environment taught them toughness. This is a collection of bits and pieces from different interviews.
See for yourself:
When there was minus 15 Celsius outside (5 F), temperature inside the gym was 0 to minus 5 (23-32 F). When going to school in the morning, you had to put the barbell…

Certain Polish coach, father to many Olympic, World, and European medalists, is well known for his lack of political correctness.
Here are some of his golden thoughts, most of which could be applied by any athlete or coach from any sport.
Read carefully, maybe you can utilize some of his advice. Most of it is quite straight forward.
It is not easy to become a champion.
Every coach, if…

Several years ago USA Weightlifting, the official association of the sport in America, was selling a t-shirt proudly announcing “We don’t bench press.”
It is hard to determine what the real reason behind such a slogan was, however many people have taken the advice quite literally. Coaches frown upon bench press, and demand their lifters not to use it in training.

Nonetheless, some of the best weightlifters…

Szymon Kolecki clean and jerked his first “hundred kilos” when he was only 13 years old.
At 14 years of age, and body weight of 72 kg he jerked 145 kg (319 lbs at 158 lbs).

and then progressed to…

These days everyone seems to be on time restraints – a meeting here, a conference call there, a kid’s dance recital, a favorite TV show, a boyfriend’s baseball game, a family outing, etc. Whatever commitment you’re tied down to, there is just not enough time in 24 hours to exercise… are these time restraints or really just excuses?!
Why wouldn’t you want to put aside some time…

My style of training has changed since I began attending classes for a six-month program at National Personal Training Institute (NPTI) to become an advanced certified personal trainer, and I’ve been seeing some great results. (Keep in mind my diet is pretty clean – I have a cheat meal once or twice a week). I want to share with you an example of a workout that I’ve done recently …

This article is dedicated to “those” people. I am one of “those” people. I’m the person who orders dressing on the side. I don’t drink soda, my fridge is full of produce, and I haven’t eaten a King size candy bar in….well, ever. I’m the person who’s conscious of what I eat and try to make good healthy decisions… most of the time. If you are like me, one of…
